Disabling downloads and updates of application control rules from the Kaspersky Security Network database

By default, applications that are in the Kaspersky Security Network database are processed according to the application control rules that are loaded from this database. If an application was not in the Kaspersky Security Network database when started for the first time, but information about it was added to the database later, by default Kaspersky Security automatically updates the control rules for this application. You can disable downloads of application control rules from the Kaspersky Security Network database and automatic updates of control rules for previously unknown applications.

To disable downloads and updates of application control rules from the Kaspersky Security Network database using Kaspersky Security Center:

1. Open Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
2. In the Managed devices folder of the console tree, open the folder with the name of the administration group to which the relevant protected virtual machines belong.
3. In the workspace, select the Policies tab.
4. Select a Light Agent for Windows policy in the list of policies and open the Properties: <Policy name> by double-clicking.
5. In the policy properties window, select the Application Privilege Control section in the list on the left.
6. In the right part of the window, clear the Update control rules for previously unknown applications from KSN databases check box.
7. Click the Apply button.

To disable downloads and updates of the application control rules from the Kaspersky Security Network database in the local interface:

1. On the protected virtual machine, open the application settings window.
2. In the left part of the window, in the Endpoint control section, select Application Privilege Control.

   In the right part of the window, the Application Privilege Control component's settings are displayed.

   If the settings in the local interface are not available, this means that the values of settings defined by the policy are used for all protected virtual machines of the administration group.

3. Clear the Update control rules for previously unknown applications from KSN databases check box.
4. To save changes, click the Save button.
